How to configure Conky

Install conky from your package manager. The package is called conky.

su -c 'yum install conky'

sudo apt-get install conky

Once that’s installed you can run conky from the command line. When you first run conky it dosent have a very nice look to it, we’ll fix that later. Now that we know conky works, we can create a little bash script to load conky on boot.
